Notshi - Insert Coin

Insert Coin is a confident boast from the Itoseng-raised artist but it's one that is backed up by, hands down, one of the best urban albums to be released in 2010. The 20-track offering is already having a significant impact on South Africa's hip-hop scene with its

skilled and sussed combination of tracks that are as much about the challenges of being in the music industry (the wake-up call Oikepela Lebitla featuring KG) as about love ("My Lady Song") or parties ("Birthday Weekend"). 'Insert Coin'features Mo`lemi, Kuli Chana (on the gossip-slaying "Sheba Tsa Hoa (Mabarebare)", Nathi on the moving "I Believe", and Element and Sifiso on "Convoy".  roduction-wise Notshi chose to work with DJ Hypnosis ("I love the stuff he produces," he says) as well as D Mongz which whom he worked previously and who has worked with the likes of Proverb (Manuscript), HHP, Zubz (Headphone music in a parallel world), Tukz (The Monopoly), H20 (Sheleng), Navio (Uganda) and Jay (Nigeria). As much as he is pursuing a new school Motswako sound, Notshi is super-aware of the legacy of this popular hip hop genre - and the dues he's been allowed to pay through his earlier collaborative work with some of Motswako's forerunners.
